Ergonomics: The issue that everyone hoped had gone away

U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao has suggested that a
plan for developing a new ergonomics standard will be released in September.
Unlike the old one, this one will follow, and be built around, these general
principles: prevention, sound science, flexibility and clarity. ANLA and other
impacted industries are working with the agency to ensure that our voices and
concerns are heard and that a new standard will be more reflective of the
"real world" and the problems facing workers in repetitive
environments.
